Blindspot 2x02 thoughts...
I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch this episode straight after it was available because I knew what happened at the end. I only watched it last night after a few days to prepare myself for it.
I remember @mockingjayne12 on Tumblr saying one day that she hoped that Allie didn’t get pregnant and people thought that wouldn’t happen (basically they thought it was crazy). Now it has (apparently) and I’m not really happy about it.
And I’m not just unhappy about it because I’m a Weller/Jane shipper, but because it seems like really sloppy and lazy writing. This whole plot device is something that has been used many times before. I understand why (sometimes I do and sometimes I don’t. An example: I wasn’t actually too upset when Luke in Gilmore Girls ended up having a daughter he didn’t know about. In fact I liked it - what I was unhappy about was how it was played out with Luke hiding it from Lorelai, and pushing her away.)
I understand that show runners and writers want to create drama and angst for couples because if they got together straight away and everything was happy and dandy that would get boring quickly. I get that, but honestly Weller/Jane have so much angst and drama already, why did they need to add Weller getting someone else pregnant to it? This has been done many times that its just lazy writing at this point. Now, if it turns out that Allie isn’t pregnant and is the mole, or hell maybe Kurt isn’t the father, that would be interesting. It would be interesting because it wouldn’t just be a plot device to stand in the way of Weller/Jane, but actually crucial to the overall plot.
Another thing that really pissed me off was how Weller and Co (not Patterson really, she was more against Nas than Jane) treated Jane in this episode. Now I get that they blame Jane for what happened to Mayfair and they feel betrayed about everything, but I hated how they all ganged up on her. Sure, Weller told them off for not making Jane feel a part of the team, but Jane still overheard what he said about her. Really, I feel more for Jane at this point than Weller. Sure, Jane lied about being Taylor, but that’s only because she was manipulated into thinking she was, not just by Oscar, but by Weller himself. He didn’t tell her that there were inconsistencies with her DNA, and if he did then Jane would have had doubts about being Taylor.
This poor girl has been through so much - being left naked in Times Square covered with tattoos and no memory of who she is, realizing that the tattoos are all about crime/corruption cases, having to be a pawn for some guy she was engaged to, finding out that she was actually the one who made the decision to have her memories erased, finding out she wasn’t who she was told she was and this is just to name a few. God, I just feel that this girl deserves some empathy and compassion and hate that instead she’s being hated and blamed for everything.

Well, I did notice that while Patterson wasn't exactly defending Jane, when she interrupted Jane and Weller she acknowledged both of them. That made me feel happy a bit because I hope Patterson might help and be supportive towards Jane.
